Instructions were easy to follow, most was assembled by 1 person. It took a couple evenings to put it together, but it was completed. It comes on a pallet/crate that is about 4' wide by 8' long by 4' high.

So this playground is nice! The slide is flimsy but if you put sand or pebbles around it makes it sturdy and less shaky! My 11 yo love it! And my 2 yo has a blast on it! Just make sure the kids don’t rough play on it like push on swings too hard or it does move quite a bit

I have never had a product with instructions as good. You can tell that it was originally written in English, another good sign that it was made in America. It is easy to set up, though it took a while. I did it by myself, which took me about a week after work. But it's a great product and the kids love it. Like I said, the instructions are amazing.

Follow the instructions. The YouTube video is helpful but doesn’t cover everything. Take your time with all the plastics pieces, they make the set look awesome, but do take time to set and then go back and tighten up. Extra set of hands for tightening all bolts down was helpful to let me keep working on assembly. My son and I put it together in about 9 hours.

Huge playset, seems to be excellant quality. Took me (mom) about 2 weeks by myself (in spurts of a few hrs here and there) to put together. Needed help a few times — would definitely go faster with 2-3 adults. Paper instructions were great, watched the video assembly but preferred the paper. The most difficult part was putting the tube slide together. I’d suggest leveling your area beforehand and building in place. Really pleased with end result, and know it will last way longer than the wooden competitors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it's a decent play-set for smaller yards. The towers support poles need to be as thick/as strong as the long swing bar is. That would give so much more integrity to the play-set. The support poles start to pinch when you tighten the bolts. NEED AN ANCHOR SYSTEM FOR THE SWING ARCH! This is a serious oversight. There is an anchor set of the tower but none for the swing arch. It will lift off the ground and shift fairly easily. The connection from the swing bar to the tower also needs to be more secure than just 2 bolts. I will probably end up welding it together as that is how it should be. Additionally, make the bolts for tower assembly all the same size. It's a pain to keep switching. Lastly, provide a few more ‘extra' pieces of hardware. Just a few things lifetime could do there to make this playground very good. All that being said, the kids are excited about it and will have fun.

I DO NOT recommend. First off the slide is junk. It is held up by 1 thin pole. When a child goes on the slide it shake, bows and moves. I expect better for $1800. I will not buy anything from lifetime again. Instructions were not good, missing pieces.

Nice sturdy swingset, built by my husband and I. Definitely need 3 people to do it but we both managed. Some parts not labeled,some directions make you work harder not smarter,some things that should be done first are directed to do last which makes it more difficult. You will be drilling into metal so YOU NEED ALOT OF TOOLS.Good brand tools not Ryobi!! Tall ladders, impact drill with drills, drill, dead blow (mallet) and PATIENCE. Took us 8 days and 29 hours to build.Definitely tests your marriage and know how. Our kids are in paradise so worth it .

We are very happy with this set. Assembly wasn’t too bad(the slide was the worst). Quality seems to be great.

Fun for the kids. Steps are tall, but managable. Some building steps are more difficult that they need to be.
